I might be getting confused, but is that not the same one from the Grand Tour? Guessing it can't be seeing as they chopped it up, but the CNT numberplate makes me think it is as I vaguely remember them joking about it...

Yep. Well remembered 👍

Must have took quite a bit of work getting it back to standard.

Bloody hell, I’m surprised at that! Must’ve been practically rebuilt 😂

Parked in the works car park today. No idea who’s it is, assume it’s legit as it comes up as a 1.6 but my knowledge on them is very limited unfortunately

Nice!! I must be getting old as I think they look better on ambers (side repeaters etc)

Agreed, especially on mercury grey. On black and red, clears look better

Got to be a retired geography teacher driving that.

On a transporter outside my work today. Mix of Escort Cossie and MOMO Arrow wheels. I’m guessing a rep?

Nope, that's a real one. The little sapphire badge on the back window trim.

Couldn’t anyone add that badge though? Like an upbadging nonce.

I'm leaning towards rep. Was it on a K-plate? Hard to tell from the picture but, if so, it's probably a rep, as blue wasn't offered on 4x4s. You could get two-wheel drive ones in Crystal Blue, but this looks too dark for that.

Unless it's been painted obviously...

Casual trip to Tesco in my 355.... With gator protection... Wtf.

Just zoomed in and checked. It’s K882 WOE
Sadly it’s a 1.6. No MOT and SORN.

I reckon it's probably a Chasseur or something. Looks a similar colour to the blue offered on those. Basically one of the run-out models made near the end of production.
